CBD is relatively new, discovered back in 1940, however it is already well documented for it’s benefits. Especially for getting a good night’s sleep. This article is going to explain exactly how it helps people who struggle to sleep and exactly what the research says for you to understand why Hemp Point are so passionate about providing the best quality and highest strength CBD on the UK market.
Sleep is just the start…
Why is it important to sleep?
First things first, is sleep even that important? We all know we need to sleep but do we know why?
Basically, if you are not sleeping well it’s affecting your health and wellbeing. Even as adults we need to be sleeping between seven and nine hours a night, according to industry experts. If we don’t sleep then we don’t have the right foundations to feel energised for the basic tasks the next day. However, sleep is essential for memory formation, fights off disease and a good night in bed helps grow and repair muscle and tissue.
What research is there for CBD helping sleep?
There is a lot of research out there for the benefits of CBD and for sleep. Hemp Point have found reports saying as many as 70% of Americans are not sleeping the recommended hours and, if you can’t believe that over a quarter get less than six hours.
Work hard, play hard…don’t sleep? Sound familiar?
As Hemp Point shared in the last article, CBD is becoming more and more normalised and utilised. This is no different in sleep. It is not surprising when you consider the information about the benefits of CBD and sleep.
Specific examples and case studies for CBD and sleep
CBD is recorded as helping with people sleep but also indirectly benefiting those who struggle to sleep. For example, people who have pain or injuries and taking CBD easing those areas leading to a better sleep. Other initial studies of CBD and sleep disorders suggest positive outcomes.
The problem is there are different levels of CBD in the doses given, this is due to the person’s individual tolerance and recommended amount to take. Hemp Point offer a CBD dosage calculator if you are unsure or want to check how much you are taking.
The summary was the higher the dose, the more sedation was recorded in the sleep.
Outside of standard sleep, everyday problems of getting that recommended eight hours sleep, there are some powerful examples. For example, REM sleep behavior disorder, most common in older patients with neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. There is a case where a handful of people who suffer from Parkinson’s disease. The study found that CBD helped manage the REM sleep behavior disorder symptoms. This is really important and, on average, improved sleep by nearly 6x. While this was a small study, the more CBD is used and seen to be helping the more data that will be collated to build on this. However, in the short term, the initial results demonstrate CBD as helping with REM disorders.
